The dosage for Ivermec injectable is 0.20 mg/kg given PO or IM. If you want to give the Pour-On the dosage is 0.40 ml placed on the skin. We like to distribute it on the back between the wings, under the wings, above the but fluff, and a tiny drop behind the crest for the face lice. Again, on the skin not on the feathers.

up date unfortunately I lost a peacock I am waiting for the results of a necropsy Its not funny I could not get help when they were sick but you can send them to the state for how they died , I am hoping to find out so a better treatment plan can be established I now have another peacock making the same noise that the other one died did so I am scared all were treated with baytril, tylosin (not at the same time )and they have been wormed, the others have stopped making the noise so the meds helped them, The peacock I lost weighed 3 pounds at death and I could not even pick him up when he was healthy he was so heavy
Thank everyone for their input and Jedds for letting me buy the medication

Look inside of the raspy bird's mouth for yellowish lesions like you see here on the corner of the mouth and back a bit like on the right side. There can be more at the opening of the airway and the tongue.

Well after a lot of thought and consideration I have lost only one male peacock and the report showed he wasted away basically stool sample positive for the capillaries sp worms and ova even though I excessively have kept the pen clean and treated ,the lung showed staph xylosus rare growth, I retreated with ivermectin and week later safeguard for 4 days and corrid continues I have decided to release the peacocks and let them free range I pray they will reproduce and thrive and stay close to me and stay healthy. I am crying but I feel like its my fault even though I did everything possible I raked out more worms and grubs ,where were they when I fished, they are starting the mating calls and the males even the 7 month olds are strutting my plan is tomorrow open the gate to the adults first and the next day let the young ones out thanks for everyone's input I will keep you posted

Don't forget to do your second round of Safeguard deworming ten days later for another four or five days. The first round kills the worms, the second day kills the eggs that hatch out after the first treatment. Do not consider the Ivermec as the first round as it is ineffective as a dewormer. I didn't see where your fecal showed any cocci so I would discontinue the Corid. Also, consider a good probiotic to help replenish the gut flora.
